Protection from home repossession

Summary

Mattie McGrath asks whether mortgage legislation will protect people’s homes from repossession; the Taoiseach says home ownership will be protected where possible and repossession should be a last resort.

In view of what is emerging about people's homes being repossessed and legislation concerning the Personal Insolvency Act, can the Taoiseach give us an update? Will people's homes be protected and will it be as a last resort that people come breaking down doors or barging into people's homes? The home must be the castle and must be protected at all costs.

It is Government policy to protect home ownership where possible. Repossession should only be applicable as a last resort.
